West Brom had howler with Grady Diangana

West Bromwich Albion appeared like that they had struck an distinctive deal once they managed to persuade West Ham United to permit Grady Diangana to depart completely.

The winger had loved a profitable mortgage spell on the Hawthorns, however hypothesis had mounted over whether or not the Hammers would permit certainly one of their star prospects to depart.

Will Diangana come good for West Brom?

When the deal was sanctioned, followers have been in an uproar. Even membership captain Mark Noble took to social media to claim: “As captain of this soccer membership I’m gutted, offended and unhappy that Grady has left, nice child with an awesome future!”

His emotions have been recognized, however an £18m charge represented a coup for the Baggies and first rate worth for the Irons on the time.

Nevertheless, with how the transfer has gone, it looks as if the pendulum has swung massively in favour of it being a much better deal for West Ham.

Eight objectives and seven assists helped propel West Brom to promotion from Championship, nevertheless simply one aim the season following noticed them drop straight again out of the Premier League. 

Beneath the stress of the highest flight, the 24-year-old crumbled. 

In his most up-to-date full season, throughout the 2021/22 marketing campaign, he scored twice and assisted simply once in 41 appearances. His kind has dropped dramatically, and what was an enormous outlay on the time solely appears to look increasingly of a daft deal.

So, with simply one Premier League aim and 11 Championship objectives, he has value the membership a worrying £1.5m per league aim.

Not solely this, however on a wage of £20k-per-week he has probably value in complete £23m.

It has been a switch nightmare for a membership clearly struggling financially. They may solely muster a complete switch spend of £1.21m final summer season, counting on Steve Bruce to usher in predominantly free transfers.

What appeared like a pointy piece of enterprise has turned bitter rapidly for West Brom, who’re reliant on him to be their star man due to his price ticket.

West Ham will probably be delighted with how this saga has turned out, while Bruce is left choosing up the items.
